Hi, I’m Brigetta PhillipsFreeman, MA, TLLP|LLPC. I am a counselor with a background in counseling psychology who has a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges. I use a person-centered, strength-based approach to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship concerns, legal concerns or life transitions. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, recognize their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
My approach combines person-centered care with practical, solution-focused strategies to help clients improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and build healthier coping skills. You can expect a collaborative, supportive environment where we work together toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. If you're ready to invest in yourself and your growth, I invite you to schedule an appointment. I'd be honored to be part of your journey.
"I believe every person has a story worth understanding, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, recognize their strengths, and develop the tools to navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I became a counselor because I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I’m passionate about helping people recognize their strengths, navigate life’s challenges, and discover their ability to grow and create meaningful change. Being able to walk alongside clients as they build confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and work toward the lives they want is what makes this work meaningful to me.
What types of clients do you work best with?
I work well with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting individuals involved in the legal system who need court-related services, anger management, emotional regulation, and healthier communication skills. My goal is to help clients build insight, develop practical coping strategies, take accountability, and make meaningful changes in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish every client knew that healing isn't linear, and you don't have to have everything figured out to begin therapy. Growth takes time, and setbacks don't mean you're failing. You deserve patience, compassion, and support throughout the process. Therapy isn't about becoming someone else; it's about understanding yourself, recognizing your strengths, and learning the tools to navigate life in a healthier way.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
Clients can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where they can share their stories at a comfortable pace. During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your concerns, strengths, and goals. In the early stages, we'll work collaboratively to identify patterns, explore coping strategies, and develop a plan tailored to your needs. Building trust takes time, and we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
My practice is guided by empathy, authenticity, and respect. I believe everyone has strengths to build upon and deserves to feel heard without judgment. I meet clients where they are and empower them to create meaningful change.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. I work alongside each client to understand their unique experiences, identify their strengths, and establish goals that reflect what matters most to them. Together, we explore strategies and adjust our approach to support their growth and progress.
